Girl Power: Empowering Adolescent Girls in India

Despite Increased momentum, progress on girls' issues is slower than what is needed. None of the areas where we lag behind - educational attainment, maternal and child health, employability, violence - can see sustained improvement unless we work with girls. Focusing on girls has the potential to improve the lives of mothers, children, their families and communities and end the intergenerational cycle of poverty, yet there is not widespread recognition of this and thus a lack of urgency, attention and adequate investment.
